After clicking 'Preview' above, the description will be shown in the feature.
Don't forget to save the feature afterwards.

User benefit:

It would enhance the user experience. I'm told that Windows has this option (though I haven't used Windows in ages.) and I'm also told that other Linux distributions don't seem to have this feature yet either.

Usecase

In many cases, having the trackpad (which is usually ill-placed where your hands are supposed to rest) causes the typist to accidentally brush against it and cause typing errors.
This is also a problem for some people with accessibility needs who require a different mouse and the trackpad can cause problems.

Control Center offers an option to disable the trackpad in GNOME. (Not sure about KDE) but this is a problem if you do not always attach your mouse to your laptop. Then you have a disabled trackpad the next time you boot up. So it's not a very good workaround to this problem.
